^the old pizitz building downtown (across from mcwane center) is currently undergoing renovation and will become lofts/apartments. is that one of the buildings you're referring to? (it's on 2nd ave north & 19th st if that helps...)

not sure where/what the old parisian/mcrae's is..

Pizitz/McRae's was the same Dept. Store, McRae's took over in later years. Thanks for the good news!

Parisian's old flagship store was on the NW corner of 20th St. & Second Ave. North (I think!).

I think the confusion comes from the fact that a former Parisian department store building (Booker T. Washington Insurance building - 3rd/18th N) is being renovated into "The Parisian" while the Pizitz Building (19th/2nd N) is also going to be renovated.

Both of those buildings are going to be largely (80-90%) developed into lofts/apartments.

is this the building? it used to have a yogurt shop on the first floor. sounds like it will be turned into a bar (but will keep the "paramount" name). partnership between the guys that did trattoria (across the street) and el barrio (couple blocks away). not sure what's on the top 2 floors.

Hey TimCity, did you take those pictures of the Lyric (and other buildings) on the previous page? I just wanted to be sure so that I could use those pictures in the master list and credit them as yours.

yes sir! (or is it ma'am... i always assume everyone on here is a guy haha)

the pics of the UAB Visual Arts Institute and Lyric on the previous page are all mine. thanks!

Maybe they're going to, like, make a few floors single floor condos with lower ones divided? Or maybe they're going to make it more mixed use than they'd made it seem so far.

EDIT: Oh, and Tim, I am most definitely a dude.

It could be (hoping they are) family-oriented condos: multiple floor units, 3 and 4 bedroom units. If and when the YPs moving to Downtown have children, the City will need some kind of development to keep them in the City, rather than have them leave for the suburbs.

Having the right students can completely change the perception of Birmingham schools.
